Michael Douglas Lost in Translation

Click to return to TMZ.comMichael Douglas couldn't stop laughing when he misunderstood a French reporter's question about "focus on film." Michael thought the phrase meant doing something a whole lot dirtier -- something we can't repeat without a lot of asterisks.

The interview took place at Sundance, where Douglas can be seen in "King of California."

Douglas suffers from a failure to communicate in this video, but it's impressive that he at least tries to do an interview in a foreign language! Focus on film!

17. This is for Frenchy.......You sure did not do well in history. "You and all of France.. (as my late father would say) should kiss our ass and thank us every time you are reminded of America. OH.. and here in America I only hope we do a lot more than just spit in your food. You should be use to that! And one more thing, do not refer to yourself as truthful.Ha!! I like Michael because you do not.

20. It always amazes me that the French act like elitists. They have nothing to be proud of, have no class, and yet they swagger around like they truly have something important. They are the least interesting country in the world. The most boring as well. Cities that smell like piss.

21. Also to the piece of French trash, you people couldn't even stop the islamofascist youths from burning about 10,000 cars on your streets. Another thing, France will be the first country taken over by the islamofacist without even firing a shot. You pigs are gutless and will surrender be a shot is fired. Say good-by to France in about 10 years or less.

22. If it weren't for the American's ... the French people would be speaking German now. Remember that the next time you speak of "stupid Americans".
